Barlehiyah Refinery

The Barlehiyah Refinery is an oil refinery in Barlehiyah, Aleppo Governorate, Syria, located on the northeastern outskirts of Aleppo. The refinery was built in 1950, and it was a state-run enterprise until 2014, when the Islamic State took over the refinery and its operations during the Syrian Civil War. The Syrian Arab Army launched Operation Sayf al-Amal to liberate the refinery from ISIL in January 2017, successfully achieving their goal.
